ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring the oil content in the gross oil production of an oil well in which the percentage of solids content thereof is known, comprises the steps of introducing a predetermined weight of well production into said vessel, determining the time interval required to introduce said predetermined weight of well production into said vessel, determining the total well production flow rate of said well production into said vessel during said time interval, electromagnetically determining the percentage water content in said well production, determining from said percentage water content the water flow rate into said vessel during said time interval, determining from said known percentage solids content the solids flow rate into said vessel during said time interval, and determining the percentage oil content in said well production by deducting said solids flow rate and said water flow rate from said total well production flow rate.
